This book has many ups and downs. I had a hard time at first liking the heroine. She felt like a whiny petulant child ( which she is since she is only 17) always crying about everyone keeping things from her or why she can never be alone. Then as I read further, I start to see the plan the author has. The story starts to give you small glimpses of the woman she is destined to be as she grows up. Just as the story starts to unwind and get to the juicy part, the cliffy slashes you and leaves you wanting more.

My interest was piqued when I read the blurb but after the first chapter, I felt like I was missing paragraphs in each chapter. There was no cohesiveness in the storyline. There was barely a description of the world the book was set in. And the character development was inconsistent. The premise of the story was a good one but the execution of it needed more work. I received this book as an ARC and I voluntarily left an honest review.
